CONDITION NOTES:

Good/G+ antique condition with moderate -to- severe overall wear from normal use & exposure to outdoor/wet elements but NO breaks or repairs. Moderate rust and severe pitting throughout (see pics). Blade edge is quite smooth and mildly sharp. Handle looks to be very old, possibly original but probably not. It is locked in place well enough for display purposes but a few hard swings and the head would likely come loose and wobble. Replacing the handle before any practical use would be highly recommended. All-in-all, a fantastic example of a very hard to find ice axe! See pics.

DIMENSIONS & WEIGHT:

Measures 19" long, overall. Axe head is 12" wide, blade to butt. Blade edge is approx. 3" wide. Total weight is 5 lbs. 3.0 oz..
